I have to disagree on one thing: a Pentax K1000 is NOT as small as an OM.
But the LX, ME, MX, etc lines are as small, or even smaller than an OM

Ah yes, I haven't seen a K-1000 much :-) My perception of the Pentax being about as small as the OM was in fact because when I bought my first SLR (a FM), one of the classmates had a ME-Super, I believe, and I couldn't believe that it was even smaller than my FM! The ZX-5 that I bought to "replace" the OM-4T, is not a whole lot bigger than the 4-T, even though it is a modern autofocus camera with builtin winder.
